About this weight
Physics: 1 g/ml at room temperature. Published charts for water typically range from 236-240 grams per cup, depending on how the cup is filled. Our figures follow a two-source policy: King Arthur's spooned-and-leveled weights for dry ingredients, and measured density for liquids. The typical published range is shown so you can see how much methods differ. For baking accuracy, weigh with a scale whenever a recipe gives grams; see why bakers weigh.
